Is there a way to update sources using the Konsole window? Are there sudo commands to do this, or does it need to be done from Muon or Discover?

Update sources? If you mean just refresh the pack lists of the repos:
sudo apt update
loads the latest packages lists.
sudo apt full-upgrade
will install all updated packages and their depends. -
What specifically do you mean by 'update sources'? What are you looking to do?
if you mean to change or edit them, the GUI tools are simply editing the file /etc/apt/sources.list for the standard *buntu repos, as well as files found in /etc/apt.sources.list.d for external sources such as PPAs
You can edit them from the command line using terminal based text editors like nano, among other command line methods.Comment

In the GUI, Discover or Muon, there's an option to edit the software sources, and ping the servers to select the best one, "Select Best Server". I like to do this periodically, as some servers respond more quickly than others due to the traffic and time of day.
Just wondering if/how to do this from the Konsole window with command line Sudo.Comment

I'm not aware of a way to do this directly. The software sources tool probably is using a python script to do all the individual steps involved. Should not be too hard to investigate.

There totally is a way to do this: https://ostechnix.com/how-to-find-be...sitory-mirror/
The first part refers to Ubuntu but if you scroll down a bit there's a command line way to do it also.Comment
